Opening Ports

[JsutTechy]

Well I just finished setting up Shoutcast and everything works great. I went to my local IP (http://192.168.1.100:8000) to see the shoutcast page listing what I'm playing, a link to listen in, etc. and that worked perfectly.
But then when I go to my public IP (http://216.169.xxx.xxx:8000) I get page cannot be displayed.
So I go to the Linksys setup and go to Applications & Gaming > Port Range Forwarding and open up port 8000 (see link below).

I've also DMZ'd my local IP and still nothing. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might have the same lame ass problem that I have.  If you are using cable or dsl.  The modems for them have built in firewalls too.  They could be the reason why it's getting blocked.  That's what my problem is, I have to hack the firmware some day to put my modem in the DMZ.

Currently it blocks:
remote desktop
shoutcasting
TightVNC (Like Remote Desktop)
Incomming port 80
FTP

I never thought of that when I was helping you techy, but now that someone mentioned it, that is a very good possibility.  I have run into that problem a couple of times.  Usually most routers that have built in firewalls also have a web interface that you can log into, much like a router.  The IP of the modem is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.  You might have to plug your computer directly into the modem (instead of going through the router then to the modem) in order to access the modem's webpage.

I can access the router via 192.168.1.1 and that's how I DMZ'd my local IP and tried to open port 8000

I'm looking into seeing if I can change anything in the modem aswell.
